Following the conclusion of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership campaign, Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has dropped a major hint about his future.
The Nigerian international managed to play 29 matches across all competitions for the Gqeberha-based outfit. In those 29 games, he kept 12 clean sheets and conceded 27 goals.
Nwabali has been linked with several clubs following his outstanding performances during the 2023 CAF Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] held in the Ivory Coast.
The Super Eagles finished as runners-up of the African prestigious tournament, having lost 2-1 to the hosts, Ivory Coast, in the final.
Some of the teams interested in his services include Al Ettifaq in Saudi and Queens Park Rangers from the UK.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper helped Chippa to finish this season in a better position without stressing about relegation. The Chilli Boys ended this term in 12th place on the log standings with 34 points after 30 games.
